Eight Years Married

8 years ago on our wedding day

This last Saturday, Will and I celebrated eight years of being man and wife.  There are always ups and downs in marriage (if not, please give me your secret!), but this eighth year of our odyssey has been superb. It will go down as a happy one for me. This year, we have both transitioned more into the people we are becoming; improving things within our grasp and making plans for our future. I feel closer to my husband and think that we are working better as a unit and appreciating the other as individuals. This year has given me insight into how blessed I tuly am to have connected with this man 10 years ago. Looking back, I can see how the two of us trusting the universe and embarking on a journey together has brought us unbelievable joy.

To celebrate, we spent a kid-free night out on the town! We started at a gorgeous vineyard, Sweet Cheeks, where we enjoyed a tasting, then sat outside with a glass of our favorite wine.  The wine really was delicious. 

We had a quick rain shower, that did its thing and then made way for beautiful sunshine.

Then we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in this town, The Vintage. It serious was so good! We tried something new, Fondnachos. OMG! Seriously, AMAZING!!! Fondue cheese covered the nachos! I still had to get my go to crepes. Yum! 

After dinner, we went to the Jazz Station to listen to Brazilian jazz. It was a very neat atmosphere. The night was still young so we headed to Cornucopia for some drinks and more great music.

We were so tired the next morning, but it was one of my favorite anniversary dates.
